Arc has plenty of cool features, many of which the developers have totally reinvented.One feature that is becoming commonplace among browsers is AI integration. Nearly every web browser has some form of AI integration, but Arc’s unique take on the web browser and its use of AI further cement it as my default.Also: 5 reasons why Opera is my favorite browserHere’s the thing: to really get the most out of Arc and AI, you need to install one browser extension.

I test earbuds for a living. I’m running in busy city streets and parks with them in my ears, playing my favorite songs and podcasts with them in on the subway, working with them in the office, and evaluating them for their performance, connectivity, battery life, comfort, and more. When I enjoy the sound of the earbuds, can wear them comfortably for the entire workday, or depend on them for my runs, I tell you, dear reader, all about them. I write reviews about and include the earbuds in lists like these. And when I don’t like a pair of earbuds, they are not included in any of these lists. We only write about products we can actually recommend to people, because we know that spending money on a pair of earbuds or another tech product is no pretty penny. If I haven’t tested the earbuds myself, I rely on the opinions of my coworkers and ZDNET staffers who have used the products we include. For more information on how we test headphones and earbuds, visit this article, which explores our process in-depth. Also: How we test headphones and earbuds More
